Valerie was born on February 5th, 1953, in New York City to parents Lawrence Glesnes and Jean (Croudace) Glesnes (both deceased). Valerie fondly recalled adventures as a child in her home, full of love and laughter, in Englewood, New Jersey. She also made recurring trips to Samoa to see her grandmother, Mary Croudace, and other family members.
For fifty years I have been a Document Examiner and that is how I earn my living.
For over 50 years I have also been a publicist for actors, singers, writers, composers, artists, comedians, and many progressive non-profit organizations.
I am a Librettist-Composer of a Broadway musical called, "Nellie Bly" and I am in the process of making small changes to it.
In addition, I have written over 100 songs that would be considered "popular music" in the genre of THE AMERICAN SONGBOOK. My family consists of four branches. The Norwegians and The Italians and the Norwegian-Americans and the Italian Americans.
